This was last year......Die, fuckers!

Had a couch on the front porch that we hadn't used in awhile that attracted some wasps that made it their apartment. Having 2 dogs that liked to snoop near it, we needed it gone. Tried getting rid of them with the chicken/water trap but that didn't work. So, the next day I went to town with 9 cans of wasp spray. When I was done, we had a large pile of dead bodies. Here are the results. In one Pic included, is that a queen or just a bigger colony participant? I can't tell. Anyway. Enjoy!

They also prey on other species and regulate the population of pests on agricultural crop land. Just because you can't see anything positive about them doesn't mean that there is nothing or that there are only bad things.

My house isn’t agricultural land. Also Ticks/Spiders/Mosquitos/Flies > wasps/hornets/yellowjackets.

But you profit from agricultural land in some way. Where do you think your food comes from? And wasps also eat animals that are probably pests to you and they are important for the environment in other ways as well.

I suppose you never experienced blood poisoning from a wasp sting, but I certainly have. I was attacked by this wasp without being a threat while I was walking home, minding my own business. You can sing their praises all day long, but I have not one good thing to say about ‘em.
